while everyone has different preferences, to me its more authentic this way. while hockey can be a very fast game, i feel video games have always shaded towards the overly fast arcade type style. with most games you can play with 5 minute periods and still have the same amount of end to end rushes as a real 20 minute period because of how fast everyone is and how accurate passes are. you can go from a legit scoring chance in one zone to a legit chance at the other end in like 4 seconds. stuff like that hasn't been realistic since the 80's wide open style. for me, i like the slower more 'authentic' speed.
but its all personal preference. and like you said, its great to have sliders that allow for everyone to find their own way. but the demo is just a demo, so we are stuck with what we get.
